Topic: Chassis J nut, 67 bumper mount (Read 4152 times)

I am currently restoring an early 67 car that is in a really bad way, I am in England so finding parts is a challenge !

The front suspension/Chassis is out and has been fully disassembled and blasted and now its all painted I am fitting it all back together. I also did the front bumper mounts that bolt to the chassis and it is here I am having a problem.

The bumper brackets bolt to the chassis, at the end closest to the suspension there is a J nut that fits in a square hole in the chassis, I have one J nut, the other is missing.

I would like to find another so I can get both sides the same, I am re-using as many of the nuts and bolts as I can and I am blasting and Parkerising as I need them.

Below is a picture of the restored bolt and washer and the one J nut I have.

Can anyone advise me where to get another ? does anyone have a spare J nut I can buy ?

In other news, this car is an early January 67 car from Van Nuys, I seem to have a chassis with no bumper bolt access hole in the driver side but one in the passenger side as well as the slots for the J nuts.

You may have seen this, your car info may be desired to add to their research data. November-December was thought to be the timeframe for the mixed usage of subframe components - same time they were switching over to frames with the holes. My 11/15 build LOS has no holes.
